Outrage at University of South Florida as Students Push for Off-Campus Housing Safety After Double Murder

The university has assured students that this is an isolated incident, but is reviewing its guidance on housing safety. Avalon Heights owners have expressed deep sorrow and full cooperation with authorities, while student leaders vow to continue fighting for change.
